Jun 2 Manchester Rocks Presents: The Midnight Ghost Train

We’re proud to announce that we will be hosting the Manchester date of The Midnight Ghost Train’s European tour at Rebellion, Sunday 7th August. The Napalm Records signed trio are fine purveyors of greasy riffs and stoner ravished grooves – the kind Manchester’s vibrant live music scene thrives off. Imagine Clutch jamming with Fu Manchu and add four hand-picked local acts who compliment the headliner’s sound as well as bringing their own carefully crafted and individualism to the table and you’ve got what promises to be a killer night.

The Fighting Keegans
"Formed a billion billion billion years ago in the heart of an exploding star, sent forth to Earth to gather the blood of the minotaur, the egg of a velociraptor and the nervous sweat of a closeted MP and combine them to create one seriously worrying omelette."....basically the instrumental trio make you want to dance and worship Satan in equal measure. They are the tits.Balls on the Belt Sander EP by The Fighting KeegansLester Verde“At times coming across like Kyuss jamming with Eddie Vedder, the fat stonerisms of Lester Verde are simply delectable. Glutinous riffs, so large in size and backed by a knuckle duster rhythm section, the creamy soulfulness of their vocals draws you into their web, entangles you, hypnotises you and leaves you as the centrepiece for their post-set feast.”
Live In Spirit by Lester VerdeSky Valley Mistress“A cacophony of rock n’ roll excellence. Possessing grinding fuzz guitars, a drummer who channels the spirit of John Bonham and Songs For The Deaf era Grohl, and whose potent mix of Sabbath’s hazy grooves and the fuzz-laden nastiness of Kyuss is iced by a vocalist who prowls the stage, purring like Janis Joplin, are not a band to be missed.”
